Natalie is 3 months old today!

Wow! Was it really 3 months ago when I was holding Natalie as a newborn? It just doesn't seem possible. How sad that I'm already 25% through my maternity leave...only 9 more months to go!

Rachel was very excited to be wearing a different shirt today! lol Natalie looks like a weight lifter or something with the way she's sitting.
"Come on, Nat - dance with me!"

I remember a lot of people telling me that when the 2nd baby arrives, you don't get as many gifts. I don't really believe that to be true. I guess in a way, it is true because you don't have all of the shower gifts but the 'Welcome baby' gifts are still coming in. I have sent out over 60 Thank You notes this time around; not bad for a 2nd baby! I'm happy that Natalie's baby book will have a big list of gifts as well :)
My Mom's friend, Marlene, sent over a quilt for Natalie yesterday. It is just gorgeous!! I think she did an amazing job...she is so talented!

The back of the quilt is all yellow with this little patch that says 'Natalie Alexandra Jan 18, 2008'

Here is a picture of the quilt she made for Rachel's first birthday (Rachel sleeps with it every day & night)

Omigosh, I can't believe Natalie is already 3 months old!! It seems like yesterday when you had Rachel....

Time flies when you're having fun! (or very busy) lol
